Without volunteers who lecture on the ten areas of competition, it would be nearly impossible to prepare for the test. Page 57. 1. Steve Johnson, Lisa Miller, and Scott Davis become experts in many fields as they perform their research. The library became their central processing unit and home away from home. 2. Steve Johnson, called Jet by his friends, pauses a moment in his pursuit of reality to carefully fill in the answer bubbles. 3. lt is easier to compete with your back to the audience, Scott Davis anxiously awaits his turn.

Decathletes Test, And Place eadaches, hard work, prestige, knowledge, and pride all belong to the 1985- 86 Decathlon team. Coach Baty and her team of six placed third in SLO County. There are three levels of competition. Jason Kastner and Tim Berger competed in the Honor Division, Lisa Miller and Robert Ruppert were in the Scholas- tic Divisiong and Scott Davis and Steve Johnson competed in the Varsity Division. The team spent weeks listening to experts give lectures on history, english, fine arts, math, economics, and literature. Essays were written and the pressure grew until finally on November 16, the team spent a long day competing. They lead until the final test, the Super Quiz in which Decathletes must answer five questions in front of a large supportive audience. lt was mildly terrifying , said Tim Berger who learned that filling in the correct Scantron bubbles is a must! Lisa Miller said that she wished she knew then what she knows now. When the winners were announced, MBHS accepted third place gracefully knowing that the medals did not begin to reflect what they had gained. 56 Decathlon

hen Mr. Behrmann and Mrs. Larsen took over the task of being yearbook advisers this year, they were ready to make changes. They wanted a top quality, first class 1986 yearbook that said just what Morro Bay High School is all about. We, the staff members, joined them in the same great aspirations. We wanted to touch upon every possi- ble aspect of this school in a way that none of our other yearbooks have. As we soon learned, however, there is nothing easy about publishing a book. We convinced enough students and staff that this was going to be something very different. Sales shot up to 650, a school record. Over two thirds of the people here on campus placed an order. Our disappointment, however, was for those who did not order one. This is your bookg the faces, events, and memo- ries that made up this chunk of our lives. We don't need to explain how it turned out. That's quite apparent. But there are few people that realize all of the effort it took to produce this book. Behr and Larsen deserve the credit of keeping it all together. They worked countless hours correcting our failures, and were like a father and mother when pictures wouldn't fit or we just could not find the right headline. It takes so much time and work just to finish a single page. But in our most frustrated hours we worked together and learned that sometimes from the most dire moments come the most victorious results. Deadlines were probably our biggest enemies. As anyone who has written a research paper can attest, it is human nature to leave things until the last minute. But unlike a re- search paper, a yearbook can not be left until the last week- end. The publishing company required that we were to have the entire book ready for press by March 10. To meet that, we had to pace ourselves with intermittent deadlines, each which seemed nearly impossible. The midnight oil that we burned paid off, and there is nothing like the feeling you get when you hold the finished book in your hands, actually being able to see the fruit of your labors. For us, the seniors, this book was a chance to leave a legacy in parting. As you can notice, the emphasis of it is on the class of 1986. lt seems only right, since this is our last year. But it is for everyone: every student, every staff member. We've tried our hardest to cover all aspects of this school and we think you will agree that this is one of the best yearbooks to ever come from Morro Bay High School. When you open this book twenty years from now, we hope you remember the good times and the great times, but most of all, we hope it makes you proud that you were a member of this school. Share the pride. You deserve it. We Do Yearbooks Righ ul il Q3 a
